In a cozy nest on a big tree, there lived a bird family. Mommy Bird and Daddy Bird flew out every day to find food for their three little chicks.
Pomi, the biggest and strongest chick, was a bit lazy and scared. Pori, the middle child, was just ordinary, nothing special at all. And Pochi, the smallest chick, was brave and adventurous, willing to try it all!
One sunny day, while Mommy and Daddy Bird were out, a big, bad snake slithered up the tree. Ssss! hissed the snake as it wriggled its way closer to the nest.
Pochi heard the snake's scary sound. Brave and bold, without a moment to waste, he peeked out and saw the snake coming close. "Danger, danger!" chirped Pochi, flapping his wings.
"Brothers, run!" shouted Pochi, flying out of the nest. "Pomi, Pori, quickly! Let's fly out fast!"
But Pomi was frozen with fear and couldn't move. He trembled and cried, "Mommy, Daddy, help me!"
Pori hesitated, unsure whether to stay or flee. He looked at Pomi with concern, then at Pochi who was already out.
The big, bad snake got closer and closer. Pomi couldn't move, and Pori finally took flight, escaping just in time, though his wing was hurt by the snake's bite.
Pomi, scared and frozen, couldn't escape and was swallowed by the big, bad snake. Pori struggled with his hurt wing but managed to fly to safety.
Brave little Pochi flew back to help Pori. Together, they searched for their parents, chirping their tale of bravery!
Pochi and Pori found a new home, safe and sound. Pochi's bravery saved the day. They lived happily, singing, "Adventure, bravery, hooray!"
Despite his injury, Pori learned to fly again, though with some strain. Pochi was always by his side, reminding him to be brave. Their happy chirps filled the air every day.
